S8+ G955U gets stuck - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi guys this is my very first topic. I have been using this phone for about 6 months and this problem started a few days ago and it's being annoying. Hopefully someone here would know what can I do.
The screen sometimes gets stuck just like freezing and doesn't respond to any kind of touch well the only touch working is if I hold the home button and it only vibrates. The way that it gets back to normal is to press the lock button and unlock the phone again, sometimes it takes a while to unlock it is like it's not responding, after a few attempts it gets back to normal... since yesterday this problem is more frequent so I am here hoping that some kind wisdom person could help me. And the other thing is that when it's stuck the screen change colours like multicolor it could be the entire screen or just part of it. Here some pictures of how it looks I don't know if it's firmware or hardware

You know, to me it sounds like there are an app, or a few that are not behaving when loaded, and clogging the CPU. As you can, take a look at the apps you are using, and see if you can whittle down the ones, and or uninstall some that may seem the culprit.
If you have a backup, perhaps restore to an earlier time when the phone was operating smoothly, and slowly . . . slowly over days or a few weeks, restore an app or two, and see where it becomes poorly functioning again.
Also, look in settings/Battery etc and see what apps are running when the unresponsiveness occurs again. Write those apps down, and as time goes for a few days/week, see what the common denominator apps show up.
Backups are a wonderful thing.

[Solved] "Reinsert battery" image after radio update -- won't go away!

Major problem!
I've had 5.0.1H for the past several hours; no real problems. I just applied the new HTC radio update, restarted the phone, and like always, the battery image came up, asking me to remove the battery.
I did this, turned back on the phone, and it's still asking me to take out the battery. I've done this about five times, and nothing's changed. I've tried booting up with the camera + power buttons, as well as the home + power buttons, but it's still telling me to take out the damn battery. Any help?
If it helps, I applied the "Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip" update from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ .
Um... does it look like this:

If so, that's just showing that's it's FLASHING your radio, do NOT remove the battery! Let it finish or you'll risk bricking!

Wow; close one. For some reason, I just always assumed that meant take out the battery. I don't ever remember leaving it in before, although I guess I've only updated the radio once or twice, so I can't be sure.
In any case, I left the battery in for about thirty seconds with it powered on, and it formatted and started up fine. Thanks for the help! I feel kinda dumb now.

[Q] Help me to fix few problems on ICS

Hi peepz,
Since a week ago I installed ICS (9.2.1.11 WW) (android 4.0.3) First I was really excited about it but after 20 minutes I saw alot of bugs. So I started to look on the forum if more ppl had these but since I have alot of bugs I decided to make this post.
Bugs:
1: My screens give something like dead pixels (don't really know how to describe this so made screenshots and photo's of it) So on the photo's I see the dead pixels (as you can see too) but on the screenshots it shows like there are no problems?!?!!. So if anyone know how to fix this please tell me!
2: Sometimes my screen just turnsblack and I have to hit the powerbutton once for putting it in sleep and hit it again to wake it up... kinda weird? (i also goes to sleep when im playing a game or using a app, so it's not that im idle for too long)
3: When I shutdown my device with the power button and select shutdown. This all works but when I try to boot it up again I have to put the USB cable in my tablet and connect to the pc or the charger else it won't boot up!?
4: On some locations my wi-fi don't work it just keeps saying about getting ip adresses or something but that takes thousand years. (and my mobile does work there. I got nexus S running ICS 4.0.3 too).
So if someone could tell me how to fix one of these problems or maybe even all of them! That would be great!
Yours,
Kasper

[Q] Should I RMA /again/? (Backlight bleed, force closing)

Hey guys, I've hit a snag. I'm tired of the horrid performance with the stock ROM so I'm wanting to unlock, but I don't want to unlock until I'm fully satisfied with the tablet I have.
The main concern is that the light bleed on my tablet is rather distracting... I've included this image with both RMAs, both times I received the tablet back it's the same exact story.

I'm curious if this is normal bleed for the TF300 or if I should RMA it a third time. I understand that most if not all backlit panels will have some light bleeding, but the blob at the top right corner is just insane. Is there something in the top right that is putting pressure on the screen causing this patch to be more apparent than others?
The other issue I'm having is when I'm updating from the Play Store, copying files from computer, or anything else that messes with the memory I'll come to a state where my tablet is completely useless. Every program will hang and stop responding, wanting to close or have me wait. I've read many things about the I/O scheduler and I'm assuming this is what is causing that, another reason I'm wanting to unlock... but again, the backlight is bugging me to the point where I can barely tolerate it.
If this is normal bleed, I'll have to suck it up and deal with it then just unlock to hopefully solve my other problems, however... if not, I'd really like to get a tablet that I'm satisfied with before unlocking so I'm not stuck in the water without a warranty.

bottom part of the screen flickers

so i bought this 16gb nexus 5 D820 a little over 2 months ago and had no problems with it whatsoever until this noon, when i was just browsing the 'net as usual, my phone became warm, i thought it was normal since i checked cpu-z it said it was 45 degrees and normal, cool..i kept on browsing till it rebooted by itself twice, still no problem,cool. since it was running low on battery i charged it and upon finishing the screen looks like this now, apart from it, everything else still works though.

i thought it was software issue since i didn't crack the screen, nor did i drop it, i was on purity + hellscore then. i flashed google factory image, unroot it and locked the bootloader again making it look as if it was just taken out of the box, but to no avail, it still looks like this up until now
i guess the heat somehow broke the lcd's component,
has anyone ever experienced this before ? how on earth could this happen?
Just a random hardware failure... These things just happen out of the blue... I'm not sure but I don't think this flickering has anything to do with the device rebooting itself on getting hot..
RMA it asap...
Even I am facing the same issue since few days. I am yet yo find the solution to fix this. I do not want to replace the display just for this. I just hope this might not create any problems in future. Please let me know if u have found the solution to fix this issue

Help Please. Android Navigation Logic

Hey everyone, im always caught up trying to help old people with their phone. I feel like UI are designed to be unusable for logical people or those unfamiliar with the main function of everything being so discrete in view its effectively hidden or for first time users is represented By a sometimes unstandardized iconography. Anyway... can you help me out. One of the main issues is how every app opens to what you were doing last time pressing the icon. 90% of the time this is infuriating and gets older people lost. They usually have a different reason each time to use any app or access any feature, so going back to where they were last time makes the process of using their phone always different and unpredictable if they cant remember the fuk.. so every button press effectively dumps them somewhere different. They dont have a picture of order in their mind like me of what they will find a step back as the are often just stumbling forward. So the back button is confusing in general and home takes them right out and any app takes them right back to 4 steps ahead. Is there an over riding setting to make every app, even settings, messages anything and everything... when pressing the icon it starts fresh step 1. Probably better on RAM too. It has to exist or a front end dev needs stranglature. THANKS!
Elder people should use a phone with /e/OS pre-installed.
